Abstract

Lactose intolerance is a global health issue. As, it is makes a person unable to digest lactose which is an essential and most important protein present in milk. This inability leads to symptoms like Flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal bloating and cramps, nausea, borborygmi, vomiting and etc. LCT gene is responsible for producing lactase enzyme to digest lactose. But unfortunately, among most adults worldwide this gene is switched off. As milk is an essential part of an individual's diet. In this review article, different types of lactase intolerance are discussed. i.e. Primary and Secondary lactose intolerance, Primary congenital lactesia. This review article also addresses the methods on how to diagnose different types of lactose intolerance like hydrogen breath test, Intestinal biopsy, Stool sugar chromatography, Genetic diagnostic. It also explains the ways to manage and treat lactose intolerance among effected individuals.
